L’America dilaniata dal covid e alle prese con una grave crisi economica e occu- pazionale guarda al voto del 3 novembre con per- plessità e indecisione. Dopo l’ultimo duello, an- l’America Latina dato in onda ieri, tra Donald Trump e Joe Biden, i sondaggi vanno in ordine sparso: alcuni parlano di una vittoria del candidato democratico di oltre dieci punti superiore al suo avversario, altri inve- ce riducono il distacco del presidente, dando un giudizio sostanzialmente positivo della sua pro- va. Entrambi i candidati hanno mostrato un ap- proccio più soft rispetto ai precedenti dibattiti, guardandosi bene dal trasformare ogni scambio in una rissa, come avvenuto a Cleveland, Ohio, lo scorso 29 settembre. Molti i temi sul tavolo. Su tutti, l’e m e rg e n z a sanitaria. «Chi è responsabile di non gestire la si- tuazione e non si prende la responsabilità di quel- le morti — ha detto Biden — non dovrebbe conti- nuare a essere presidente degli Stati Uniti. Sta per iniziare un buio inverno e lui non ha un pia- no». Immediata la replica di Trump, che ha smentito di aver sottovalutato l’emergenza. «I generali sono pronti, in particolare il capo della logistica. Sono pronti a partire appena abbiamo il vaccino. Non ho detto che sarebbe passata pre- sto: stiamo imparando a conviverci, non abbiamo scelta». Un altro tema caldo è stato quello dei mi- granti al confine con il Messico. Almeno 500 bambini hanno perso ogni traccia dei genitori e ora sono abbandonato a loro stessi. «Li avete strappati alle madri e sono soli, non sanno dove andare» ha accusato l’ex numero due di Barack Obama. «Le gabbie usate per tenere i clandestini furono costruite da voi nel 2014» ha replicato Trump. Non potevano non mancare, poi, i riferi- menti alle questioni più personali, con Trump al- le prese con il Russiagate e le accuse di evasione fiscale e Biden in difficoltà per controverse mail pubblicate dal «New York Post» secondo cui il figlio organizzò un incontro fra il padre e certi af- faristi ucraini.

    MUSIC Germán López, Joel Savoy & SAVANNAH Kelli Jones Sat, March 25, 2017 12:30 pm – 1:40 pm Venue Charles H. Morris Center, 10 E Broad St, Savannah, GA 31401 View map Admission Buy tickets More information Savannah Music Festival Credits Presented by the Savannah Music Festival Germán López is a world-renowned ‘timple’ player from the Canary Islands, and is joined by Spanish guitarist Antonio Toledo at the 2017 Savannah Music Festival. Two acoustic duos from remarkably different traditions share this one- time-only double bill. Germán López is a world-renowned timple player from Spain, and is joined by Spanish guitarist Antonio Toledo. López has been performing since the age of 10, including collaborations with the symphony orchestra of Gran Canaria and festival appearances throughout Europe and the U.S. Pronounced “tim-play,” the timple is a diminutive 5-stringed instrument that resembles the 4-stringed ukulele, which López brings to life through a joyous sound that is similar to flamenco music but with a very Portuguese flair. Joel Savoy and Kelli Jones are from Eunice, Louisiana and specialize in Cajun music, honky-tonk and swing on guitar and fiddle. Savoy is the son of renowned Cajun musicians Mark & Ann Savoy, is owner/producer at the Grammy-winning label Valcour Records, and is also the Artistic Director of the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes. This is his third SMF appearance. Kelli Jones grew up playing old-time fiddle alongside her father Carl Jones in North Carolina, and has lived in Louisiana for the past decade. She also performs and tours with Feufollet and T’Monde, in addition to this compelling new project.

    Raising the Bar: The Reciprocal Roles and Deviant Distinctions of Music and Alcohol in Acadiana by © Marion MacLeod A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ethnomusicology Memorial University of Newfoundland June, 2013 St. John 's, Newfoundland ABSTRACT The role of alcohol in musical settings is regularly relegated to that of incidental by­ stander, but its pervasive presence as object, symbol or subject matter in Acadian and Cajun performance contexts highlights its constructive capacity in the formation of Acadian and Cajun musical worlds. Individual and collective attitudes towards alcohol consumption implicate a wide number of cultural domains which, in this work, include religious display, linguistic development, respect for social conventions, and the historically-situated construction of identities. This research uses alcohol as an interpretive lens for ethnomusicological understanding and, in so doing, questions the binaries of marginal and mainstream, normal and deviant, sacred and profane, traditional and contemporary, sober and inebriated. Attitudes towards alcohol are informed by, and reflected in, all ofthese cultural conflicts, highlighting how agitated such categorizations can be in lived culture. Throughout the dissertation, I combine the historical examples of HatTy Choates and Cy aMateur with ethnographic examinations of culturally-distinct perfonnative habits, attitudes toward Catholicism, and compositional qualities. Compiling often incongruous combinations of discursive descriptions and enacted displays, my research suggests that opposition actually confirms interdependence. Central to this study is an assertion that levels of cultural competence in Cajun Louisiana and Acadian Nova Scotia are uneven and that the repercussions of this unevenness are musically and behaviourally demonstrated.

  • Savoy Family Bio
    SAVOY FAMILY CAJUN BAND Carrying on Traditional Cajun Music The Savoy Family Cajun Band plays honed down, hard-core Cajun music laced with an earthy sensuality. Though the old tunes have been revived and returned to new life intensity in their hands, the Savoy Family Cajun band doesn’t play from a studied angle. The musicians in the band, Marc and Ann Savoy and their sons Joel and Wilson, each hold their own as strong indi- vidual group members, making up a tight, intense sound. Marc and Ann, as the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band, have been performing and recording together since 1977, recording five CDs on the Arhoolie label. They have traveled all over the world, ap- pearing in all the most prestigious venues, such as the Newport Folk Festival, the Berlin Jazz Festival, the Festival of American Folklife at the Smithsonian Institution, the National Geo- graphic Concert Series, even the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, England, to name a few. When the Savoy children became old enough to play in a band the Savoy Family Band was born, and they began to perform all over, delighting audiences with their familial tightness and raw musical talent. Among their most prestigious gigs are National Geographic Alive!, the Fes- tival of American Folklife at the Smithsonian Institution, the National Folk Festival, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, which featured the Savoy Family Band in a special concert presentation. In 2007 the Savoy Family were the honorees of the acclaimed Festival Acadien in Lafayette, Louisiana.
